The New Tax bill has had an immediate effect on American corporations and the employees who work for them, after several companies decided to pay their employees more and pour money into their communities as a direct result of paying less in taxes.

The latest company to make a gigantic change as a result of the tax bill is Comcast.

In a surprising announcement Wednesday, Comcast stated it would be investing over $50 billion into infrastructure over the next five years to “radically improve and extend our broadband plant and capacity, and our television, film and theme park offerings.” In addition, the company is awarding $1,000 bonuses to more than 100,000 employees.
